The waves were tiny again today, so we went to Oceanside.
Very small wave conditions perfect for the 5'2" COUCH POTATO model.
It's short but has a fast takeoff.
This model is truly one that can be ridden from the swell before it breaks.
This photo is proof of that.
The surfers at the back of the peak were frustrated that they couldn't catch a wave,
Nishii starts sliding with ease and is slowly trying to stand up.
It runs well in small waves with little power,
This is a model that you'll want to ride in Japanese wave conditions like this, where you can make loose and hard turns even in flat waves.
When I went to LOST Surfboards, Joe Alani, who produced the DVD Word Story, was there.
He was very happy to receive the Transworld Surf magazine award and is currently working on a new LOST TV series.
Nishii's personal board was finished. It was a 5'10" WHIPLASH-TB model.
Taji's own "WHIPLASH-TB" model, also 5'10", was also completed, so we put them side by side for a commemorative photo.
The popular "ORCA" model has been so popular since its release that production is unable to keep up with demand for all sizes, and a clear board made with POLYESTER has also been completed.
The photo shows today's sunset at San Clemente Pier. The waves are expected to get a little bigger starting tomorrow.
